Comment: There is no claim of notability here, and the sources are too trivial to establish notability. I would propose redirecting to Sakya Trizin. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 11:47, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Rinchen Gyaltsen (born February 17, 1972) is a Uruguayan Buddhist teacher and translator. He was appointed by H.H. Kyabgon Gongma Trichen Rinpoche (The Sakya Trichen), the 41st head of the Sakya Order of Tibetan Buddhism, as the highest representative of the Sakya Tradition to spread Buddhism in Spanish-speaking regions.[1][2][3]
Early Life and Education
[edit]Rinchen Gyaltsen was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, to Spanish parents. In 1980, his family emigrated to New Jersey, United States, where he continued his studies. He graduated in 1995 with degrees in Art and Psychology from Rutgers University.
Buddhist Training
[edit]From 1993 to 2003, Rinchen Gyaltsen studied Tibetan Buddhism at the Pema Tsal Institute in New York City, under the guidance of Khenpo Pema Wangdak. In 2003, he was ordained as a monk in Lumbini by His Eminence Chogye Trichen Rinpoche[4], receiving the Tibetan name Ngawang Lekshe Rinchen Gyaltsen.
Between 2005 and 2012, he furthered his studies in Buddhist philosophy at the International Buddhist Academy in Kathmandu, Nepal, under the guidance of Khenchen Appey Rinpoche, Khenpo Ngawang Jorden, and Khenpo Jamyang Tenzin.
Career
[edit]In 2007, Rinchen Gyaltsen began a series of teaching tours across Latin America.[5] In 2010, he co-founded the IBA Intensive Translation Program, the first classical Tibetan program dedicated to training translators. He also played a pivotal role in the Chodung Karmo Translators Group[6] and the Sakya Pandita Translators Group, contributing[7] to the 84000.org project aimed at translating the entire Buddhist canon into English.
In 2012, he was appointed as the resident Lama at the Sakya Buddhist Center and Director of the Sakya Foundation, both based in Pedreguer (Alicante, Spain), by H.H. the 41st Sakya Trizin Kyabgon Gongma Trichen Rinpoche.
Recent Work
[edit]Since 2022, Rinchen Gyaltsen has focused on expanding his teachings, establishing over 300 working groups within the Spanish-speaking Paramita community.[8][9] His book "Soltar: el camino de la liberación" was published by Vergara, and he was featured in the documentary "El arte de plantar semillas."[10]
His work to spread Buddhist teachings in Spanish has led him to participate in various conferences and presentations at universities and media outlets in both Spain and Latin America.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
In 2024, Rinchen Gyaltsen was appointed as Khenpo (Abbot), becoming the first Uruguayan monk to receive this recognition.
